Key Points:

Mohammed Shami's Injury Update: Chief selector Ajit Agarkar is awaiting a detailed update from the National Cricket Academy on Shami's recovery from an ankle injury.

Upcoming Test Series: India will play a total of 10 Test matches from September 2024 to January 2025, including series against Bangladesh, New Zealand, and Australia.

Bowling Depth Needed: Agarkar emphasizes the importance of having a strong and deep bowling attack due to the rigorous Test schedule.

Ajit Agarkar recently provided an update on Mohammed Shami's recovery from an ankle injury. Shami has resumed bowling after undergoing surgery, but it remains uncertain whether he will be fully fit for the home Test series against Bangladesh, starting September 19.

Shami has been absent since the ODI World Cup final on November 19 and missed significant series against South Africa and England, along with the T20 World Cup. Although he has started bowling again, Agarkar noted that Shami's availability for the upcoming series is still pending. Agarkar mentioned, "We more or less know who the guys are, there are some injuries at the moment and hope they will be back up. Shami has started to bowl, which is a good sign. September 19 is the first Test against Bangladesh and that was always the goal. I don't know if that is his timeline for recovery, will have to ask the guys at the NCA about that."

Team India faces a demanding schedule with 10 Test matches from September 2024 to January 2025. This includes two Tests against Bangladesh, three Tests against New Zealand at home, and five Tests against Australia away. Agarkar emphasized the need for a strong and deep bowling attack given the intense Test schedule. He said, "There are so many Tests coming. We will need some depth. Bumrah, Shami, and Siraj have been around for a while, these are the obvious ones. But there will be some conversation around it. Got a lot of first-class cricket coming up so we can build guys up like that."

Agarkar's comments underscore the importance of maintaining bowling depth and preparing strategically for the upcoming series. Ensuring that key bowlers like Shami are fit will be crucial for India’s performance in the challenging fixtures ahead.
